What Is the Difference Between a Nasal Mask and a Nasal Pillow Mask?

A nasal mask covers the nose, while a nasal pillow mask has pillows or cushions that use the outer rim of the nostrils to form the seal.

A Nasal Style Mask that is not the proper size can leak into the user’s eyes or around the nose and cause issues while using their machine.
